About the Role
We are looking for a Venture Builder passionate about building the future of occupational safety. You will work on a new venture focused on a medical-grade wearable device and data dashboard to monitor at-risk workers in mining and construction, flagging early signs of heat stress and respiratory strain to prevent fatalities. This is a hands-on role requiring you to operate across product, design, growth, and tech, moving fast and making decisions.
Responsibilities
- Owning the end-to-end early build, from problem definition and MVP scoping through to shipping, testing, and iteration.
- Getting products into users' hands fast, using lean, experimental approaches to validate assumptions and generate learning.
- Shaping the customer experience and product vision, balancing user needs with commercial and technical realities.
- Working closely with founders to challenge thinking, sharpen focus, and drive momentum, especially when things feel unclear or uncomfortable.
- Helping ventures progress through studio stage gates, supporting founders towards strong, evidence-backed IC decisions.
- Spotting opportunities early by staying close to market dynamics, emerging tech, and real user behaviour.
- Communicating clearly and regularly, sharing progress, learnings, trade-offs, and recommendations with founders and the wider studio.
Requirements
- Background in digital health, medicine, or wearables.
- Systems thinking approach, connecting sensors to dashboards and understanding real-time needs for critical risks.
- Experience with a regulatory clearance or licensing process for a health or safety product, understanding how compliance shapes product development.
- Proficiency in lean methodologies and experimental approaches, prioritizing speed, learning, and focus.
- Ability to wear multiple hats (product, design, tech, growth) and identify when specialist support is needed.
- Strong technical mindset with the ability to build no-code/low-code solutions, prototypes, or proofs of concept.
- Commercial curiosity with the ability to consider ICPs, value propositions, pricing hypotheses, and early GTM strategies.
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy solving messy problems.
- Quick thinking and intuition, balancing creativity with objective data.
- Passion for creating products people love; product performance is key.
- Ability to adapt and operate in an ambiguous environment.
- Comfortable with taking calculated risks and learning fast.
- Desire for continuous skill and productivity improvement, challenging yourself.
- Strong leadership that drives outcomes.
- Approachable and optimistic demeanor.
